The flavours of summer

Granita, 2.50 euros, twelve flavors: blood orange, peach-apricot, peach tea, cola, strawberry, melon, mint, grenadine (mixed berries), blue lagoon (whatever that is!), raspberry, strawberry-banana, lemon. A great cocktail of artificial colors and flavors for sure - not my cup of ice. Do you like them? Which flavor do you prefer?- But this isn't called Granita in English. I can't remember the name - can you help?

I think granita is what the Brits call water ice, Nathalie. Lovely pic, nice flavours - too sweet and too chemical for me. We do get some great Italian icecreams here tho - and some granitas and truly I don't believe they are all full of chemicals, she said, naively...

Strangely, I don't actually much like icecream or water ice - mainly cos after I feel SICK!
